Joel, your two pics show rifles that are beyond glorious. You have excellent taste (and pretty nice picture-taking skills).
Btw what is the cartridge in each of yours? I must be too much a rookie to decode them.
And I must pull out my camera. I only have one that is category-correct, but I don't intend it to be lonely forever.

Where do you shoot that beast? (I'm in the area)
Usually I just go outside in my back yard. I live on 30 acres....lol
I'm with ya on the "move to Kansas" thing from the Colorado gun laws thread.
Around here, it's beer, BBQ, women and guns. All the things that make life fun.

6" group at 1k with my 243 Ackley Cooper.

Adding this one after the fact....these were my last three shots out of the same box of handloads as above. Top and bottom plates are 9 and 12" respectively.

Thanks Joel....it's obvious you're a student of the rifle also. That Stolle sure is pretty.

Here's a rifle from another time that is still very accurate. It was made to be shot off hand too. BTW this one is not mine and I have posted photos of it before but it is a well known design from the early 20th century. The design goes back earlier. I am storing this rifle for a friend now so I have shot it. It has a 2 oz., double set trigger if that tells you anything.

This one is pretty accurate but not on the same level as some of the other stuff in this thread. Still I would be hard pressed to let go of it.

Just for the record here's a group I shot with the CZ. I think it qualifies as a precision rifle. :) This is 5 shots at 50 yards. I've shot quite a few like this one too.

Taliv how do you like that xlr chassis? been thinking about getting one for my savage model 10

Here is a pair of 6mm Dashers. I no longer own the big 16.8lb rifle, but have a new on being built. Will be another Dasher, but will be built on a BAT action.

I use both for a local 100, 300 and 500 yard groundhog match and the big one is what I use to shoot 1k BR with.

With all of the THR members is that all of the prcision rifles out there

Taliv how do you like that xlr chassis?

i like it quite a bit. i think i prefer shooting prone with a traditional stock with a palm swell instead of a chassis, but it sure makes positional easier and is seems lighter weight (which it may or may not be) and easier to carry

No picture of the rifle, but here's a shot of the target from today. I got a Remington 700 AAC-SD a while ago. All I've done to it is put a scope on it. I finished the first ten rounds of break-in shooting one then cleaning. The three shots in the blue circle were the first three shot group out of this rifle. Not too bad...

178gr Amax's at about 2700fps, but maybe faster, my numbers are more effecient than the results of 2700fps in a g7 calculator.

Solid .5moa rifle!

I'm in the middle of building this one.....budget precision rifle for sure. Savage MkII FV-SR in 22LR. DIP trigger guard, bottom metal and hardware with a Boyd's stock. Glass is a Bushnell Elite 3200 in Warne QD low rings. I need to order a bipod and some sort of long muzzle device until I can get a can (it looks quite strange with the short barrel meant for a suppressor).

I kind of like it like that... it reminds me of this:

The GA Precision "Gladius" - the SF muzzle brake makes the barrel look longer than it is but its really only 18" which is short for a precision rifle.

Thanks Taliv! I'm awful jealous of your suppressors.

just a good old fashion 700 action, trued up though! started life as a 700p. the bolt knob is from Phoenix Custom Rifles.

Just a guess but I would say a Rem 700 SPS Varmint with a Nikon 3x9 with BDC reticle sitting in a Choate sniper stock.

Heres a few. The Savage 10 Predator is going to get either a Manners or Mcree after I make up my mind.

Savage LRP 260 with a new SWFA 12X scope in a Stocky's Laminate Thumbhole stock.

Zeroing the new scope. SMK 142s, 42.8gr H-4350, CCI BR-2, 2.840" COL.

My LRP is best with 44.5gr of H4350 in a Win 7mm-08 case necked down topped with a 142gr SMK pushes 2910fps avg.

April 6, 2013, 06:39 PM

I performed a powder load test with H-4350 going up to 44.0gr but after 43.5 I started seeing too many pressure signs (sticky bolt, flattened primer, enlarged primer pockets) to continue. I found 42.8gr with the SMK 142 and 43.0gr with the A-MAX 140 and Berger VLD 140 to be best with my rifle. But I can't find the A-MAX or the VLD 140s now so I have standardized on the SMK 142s.

The event is the sheaf toss. That is the current amateur record holder. 22# bag, 40+ feet in the air.

7 shot group with handloads at 100 yards (the holes not in the black was me messing around with my AR pistol :p):
